waken the dawn

Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *

and your glory over all the earth.

 My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *

I will sing and make melody.

 Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; *

I myself will waken the dawn.

 I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *

I will sing praise to you among the nations.

 For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

 Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *

and your glory over all the earth.

 - Psalm 57:6-11 (Book of Common Prayer 1979)
